Generating renewable energy from flared low calorific value landfill gas

该项目专注于提供一种模块化的经济高效的能源生成系统，该系统利用气体排放的热值，例如垃圾填埋业中发现的那些气体。垃圾填埋气(LFG)含有甲烷，这是一种需要通过燃烧或发电安全处置的强有力的温室气体。到目前为止，还没有有效的方法在封闭的垃圾填埋场发电，那里的气体水平正在耗尽。仅在英国就有20,000个这样的地点，LFG的发电持续约70年，这提供了大量的可再生能源。LSL的新系统将结合领先的燃烧和斯特林发动机技术，将LFG燃烧产生的热量有效地转换为动力。重点关注的领域将是整个系统的热量捕获和分配，以及确保安全和持续的燃烧操作。原型将在英国的一个垃圾填埋场设计、建造和展示。这是许多运营商之一，他们渴望看到该系统在技术和财务上的可行性。该系统的好处包括环境的可持续性，以及通过抵消电力进口来降低现场维护成本。更广泛的市场应用也存在于陆上石油和天然气勘探以及其他大型散热行业。

A project focusing on the delivery of a modular cost-effective energy generation system that exploits the thermal value of gas emissions, such as those found in the landfill industry.Landfill gas (LFG) contains methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas requiring safe disposal through flaring or power generation. To date, there has been no effective way of generating power at closed landfill sites, where gas levels are depleting. With 20,000 such sites in the UK alone and LFG generation lasting circa 70 years, this provides a significant renewable energy resource.LSL's novel system will combine leading flaring and Stirling engine technologies to effectively convert heat generated from LFG combustion into power. Key areas of focus will be the heat capture and distribution across the system and ensuring safe and continued flaring operations. A prototype will be design, built and demonstrated at a landfill in the UK. This is one of many operators that are eager to see the technical and financial viability of the system proven.System benefits include environmental sustainability, as well as reduced site maintenance costs through offsetting electricity imports. Wider market applications also exist across onshore oil and gas exploration, as well as other large heat emitting industries.
